Objective
This Assistance Listing encompasses several transportation programs:
1) Federal-aid Highway Program: The purpose of the Federal-aid Highway Program is to assist the States in providing for construction, preservation, and improvement of highways and bridges on eligible Federal-Aid routes, (including the National Highway System (NHS) - an integrated, interconnected transportation system important to interstate commerce and travel), and for other special purpose programs and projects. This program also provides for the construction and improvement of highways in the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
2) The Federal Lands Highway Program: The Federal Lands Transportation Program (FLTP) provides assistance to the Federal Land Management Agencies (FLMAs) for Federally-owned roads and trails. It provides transportation engineering services and funding for planning, design, construction, and rehabilitation of the highways and bridges that are on or provide access to federally owned lands. The Federal Lands Highway organization also provides training, technology deployment, and engineering services to other customers.
3) The FAST Act established two new freight programs: the formula-based National Highway Freight Program (NHFP) which provides funds to the States to improve efficient movement of freight on the National Highway Freight Network (NHFN); and the discretionary Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects (NSFHP) program which provides targeted investment to freight projects on the NHFN as well as highway and bridge projects on the NHS and railway-highway grade crossing or grade separation projects. The FAST Act also continues to focus the program on safety and performance-based investment and on accelerating project delivery through expedited environmental review and elimination of duplicate processes.
4) The Highway Infrastructure Programs in the Department of Transportation Appropriations Act, 2018, included two new discretionary programs: Competitive Bridge Program and Nationally Significant Federal Lands and Tribal Projects Program. The Competitive Bridge Program was appropriated $225 million to be used for highway bridge rehabilitation or replacement projects for States that have a population density of less than 100 individuals per square mile and that demonstrate cost savings by bundling multiple highway bridge projects. The Nationally Significant Federal Lands and Tribal Projects Program was appropriated $300 million for projects eligible under section 1123 of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act.

Applicant Eligibility
By law, the Federal-aid highway program is a federally assisted State administered program that requires each State to have a suitably equipped and organized transportation department. Therefore, most projects are administered by or through State transportation departments (State DOTs). Projects to be funded under the Federal-aid highway program are generally selected by State DOTs or MPOs, in cooperation with appropriate local officials, as specified in 23 U.S.C. and implementing regulations. Territorial highway projects are funded in the similar manner as other Federal aid highway projects, with the territorial transportation agency functioning in a manner similar to a State transportation department. Most FLTP projects are administered by the FHWA Office of Federal Lands Highway and its Divisions or by the various FLMAs.
Beneficiary Eligibility
State transportation departments, and in some instances, Federal agencies, other State agencies, local agencies, and private, community-based organizations.
